sardines Of the Brittany Coast.

Z, All along; the coast of Brittany the
people are for the most part miserably
poor. They live almost exclusively by
fishing, and fish, it seems, are not to be
relied on any moro than men. Their
habits are most irregular; they take q
fancy to certain locality and then they
leave it; they are creatures always OF
fresh excitement and adventure. This is
especially the case with sardines, upon
which thousands Of Breton fishermen
mainly rely. Sardines can hardly be
termed globe trotters, but they are never
theless inveterate tourists. While indulg-
ing their passion for roaming, they thor
oughly believe in the advantages of social
intercourse; consequently, when they
travel there are millions Of them together.
Some years ago they freqented tho Brit
tany coast in such numbers and with such
regularity that capitalists set up manu-
factories in various places for preserving
these fish in oil Thus they have been
distributed oil over the world in those
boxes which are to be found In every am
bilious dust heap. !.
Both alive and dead it is the destiny OF
the sardine' to travel. For some unac-
lcountable reason the sardine has during
the last two or three seasons turned up it's
very fastidious nose ut Brittany, and In
stead of stopping at every bay on the coast,
ms formerly, has passed on to other
regions. tits said that the coast of Portu-
cal has been the ono most highly favored
By the vagrant and capricious fish since
the Door Brittany fishermen have been
throwing up their hands In despair or
fervently praying for the return Of the
.sardsneB.. This year the prospect is much
more cheerful. Cor. Boston Transcript.

A Taste of ui.h Life.

''Last season my maid of all work asked
early in the spring If she might have the
month Of July. Isaid yes, not realizing
the trouble there was in getting help"
said n prominent Detroit lady. "As I
could not find q servant I decided to close
the house and go for the month to one of
the fashionable beaches near home.
While watching the bathers tho morning
after I arrived 7 noticed one, q pretty
looking girl picturesquely dressed, who
struck me Familiarity. AS she came near
me, recognized her as my maid Julia,
Notwithstanding she had changed her
hair from dark brown to pale gold,
and I spoke to her. To my surprise she
entirely ignored me, never showing by
even the raising Of an eyebrow that she
recognized me or the children. On re-
turning to the hotel found that she was
registered under the name, of friend of
mine, q well known society young lady,
whose name she kept during her stop
there. Why didn't I expose3her What
would have been the use? She wore bet
ter clothes than did, was bright and
pretty, and had gathered around her the
cream of the society there. The probable
ity is that if I had said anything no one
would have believed me. "-Detroit Trib-

women ON Board Yachts.

Women fit into yachting better than
men, for the most part, strange as it may
seem. Probably one reason is that they
are more used to leisure and meet it more
gracefully; another may be that the Bos-
ton woman naturally scintillates with cf-
fervesccnt brilliancy, und makes Il charm
ing guest Mt all times and places How
ever it may be, the femme d'csprit is al
ways to be found among the guests Of u
yachting party, as it is recognized that the
talent of brilliant conversation il the tall
cnt par excellence on board Il yacht-it
wears best and is oftcncst in rcGIisition.
The ,sllnshiny, merry girl, who looks on
life us one long dream of JOY, is always OF
the yachting party. She need not be beau
tiful but she must have that joyous laugh
of youth that, notwithstanding her train
ing in that center of serious and intel
tellcctual culture the Boston girl, by tho
grace of kindly nature, still retains, her
reputation to the contrary notwithstand-

If civilization is to be estimated by

rial to begin with, and here very badly
laid down; and, besides, there is very
often n gutter in the middle of q street
crossing, which would throw one off the
tiny drosky but for the precautions taken
by the natives: The drosky is, as n street
cab, even worse than Dublin car: 1t IS
like very small victoria; the horse is
slow, the driver is generally very stupid;
there is barely room for two persons and
no protection against rain. AS you stroll

A Story of Two Dogs.

A family fond OF pets and superior to
hydrophobic apprehensions had reduced
their stock Of household animals some
time ago to two. One was Scotch ter
rier, young and of rare excellence and
value, having easily taken prizes at bench
shows. The other was black and tan,
well on in life. I may not be entirely
right in this description, but preciseness
of classification is not essential to the
effect Of the narrative. The "twa dogs"
were constant companions, and exhibited
a strong mutual fondness. The Scotch
suddenly sickened and died. That he
was missed by his aged friend was eyi-
dent. The family sent the deceased to
taxidermist, who treated him so skillfully
that the figure, sitting in lfelike posi-
tion, would ut first glance deceive the
most intimate acquaintance Of the living
animal.
When the work Of restorative art was
sent home and the black and tan was let
into the room where it had been placed,
he manifested the hyeGest joy, rushing up
to the Scotch and kissing her in canine
fashion and finally lying down by her side
to sleep, according to his habit. For
long time he refused to 60 to his meals
q substantial sacrifice, as his appetite was
extremely good-because she would not
accompany him and his food had to be
brought to him. Finally, having ap-
parently turned the matter over In what
serves dogs for mind, about which we
really know so little, he suddenly aban-
doncd the case, went about his own busi-
ness and paid no further attention to the
irresponsive Scotch.-Brookly Eagle.

Charles Summers Plain Living.

His digestion was good up to the last.
Before his injuries he used to pride him
self on this; nothing hurt him. He
always breakfasted quite lightly ond
never took lunch. After he became an
invalid he learned his limitations and re-
spected them. Bit before, while he lived
plainly as o rule, the late and heavy din
ners that he attended, as he used to say,
lin his official capacity" never troubled
him. lie had q childlike love for sweets,
and often bought chocolate creams and
the like. Indeed, rather came to look
for the share he often poured on my desk
from paper cone of confectionery pur-
chased on his way home from the senate.
He seemed somewhat sensitive rs to this
taste, if one might judge from the pains
he sometimes took to defend it. lie
hoped he would never outgrow his sweet
tooth, for so long as it remained he was
sure of his digestion.
But this was his only dissipation. Hc
did not smoke-not that he couldn't, but
rather that he wouldn't. Still, when he
gave or was present at dinners, and cigars
came on with the wine after tho removal
of the cloth, he would light mp with the
others rather than to be spoil sport, but
I doubt if he ever smoked q whole cigar.
While Sumner had critical taste in
wines, he took wine only at meals, and
then in moderation. He didn't know
spirits by their taste. Once when he
found that one of his clerks had o. flask OF
whisky in his valise, provided for the
journey on which he was about to start,
he asked morsel as curiosity, and after
choking himself with swallow taken
neat, said it was the first time he had ever
tasted whisky, and he rather Thought 1t
would be the last.-Afnold Burgess John.

Paris Doll Making Industry.

The making Of dolls is one Of the prin-
cipal industries of Paris; the masterpiece
of the trade being marvellous creature
consisting entirely Of paper, with a por-
celain head. This belongs to quite n new
race of dolls, which has driven the old
ones out Of the Partisan market.
In making them fine paper pulp is
used, and the doll is nodded bit by bit.
One workman does nothing but shape the
arms, another has charge of the feet, and
so on with the entire body. Elastic bands
are inserted in the arms and legs to hold
them together, and the joints are made TO
work so perfectly that limb will remain
in any position in which it is placed.
The porcelain head is more difficult to
make than the body. After being nodded
the heads are placed in IN oven and baked
for twenty-seven hours. They are then
rubbed with pumice stone, polished, and
painted with the greatest care. The eyes
are made as carefully US are human arti-
fetal eyes, and the hair is wool from wild
goats in the mountains of Thibet. TO
finish one Of these dolls the labor of thirty
different persons is required.
Connected with every large manrfac-
tory ere dressmakers, milliners and shoe
makers, who work ut their own homes.

toilets for every conceivable occasion, in

A Necklace of Human Fingers.

A curious and interesting relic of In
dian barbarism was received Mt the war
department q few days ago. 1t consisted
of necklace of human. fingers. Origin
ally there were eleven fingers strung to-
gether after the manner of necklaces of
bears claws, but three Of them had been
lost. This ghustly adornment was cap
tured in an attack on the northern Chey-
ennes in 1876, and each finger represented
life taken by the owner, tic big medicine
man of the tribe. The fingers had been
preserved by opening the skin, removing
the bones, scraping away MI the tissues
and fatty substances, replacing the bones,
and subjectng the skin to some tanning
process. The necklace was sent to West
Point by Capt Bourke, who is now en-
gagged in preparing some historical matter
relating to the Indians. 1t was brought
from West Point here in order that it

creo1es and Their Servants.

Poor indeed must be the creole family
without one retainer Of color, and almost
every household provides for some cid and
useless pensioners with affectionate inter-

their old niistresses, often working when
there was no money to pay their wage,

picayuncs to help their beloved .white
